ALIVE & KICKING

(Jerryn Fosteras, Cali Thomson and Darren Marais)

Hot on the heels of the recent Eighties Legends who visited Durban and caused thousands of people to retro dress, The Heritage Theatre is currently offering a brand new and experimental concept in the genre of “supper theatre” - Dinner and Dance Theatre.

Instead of simply sitting down, enjoying a meal and being entertained, Alive and Kicking invites the audience to get up and dance – with the performers!

All the 80s favourites are there: Hungry Like The Wolf, Just Can’t Get Enough, Dancing With Tears In My Eyes, Shout, Tainted Love, Let’s Dance, Walking On The Moon, Safety Dance, Big In Japan and many more.

Some of the bands featured are Yazoo, Madness, The Police, David Bowie, Soft Cell, Depeche Mode, Tears For Fears, INXS, Duran Duran, Men At Work, Alphaville, Ultravox and the hugely successful South African group E’Void.

The show features Barry Thomson, Dawn Selby; Cali Thomson; Mali Sewell and Fabien Mitchell and is vocally fronted by newcomers Jerryn Fosteras and Darren Marais.

Every Friday is Dress Up Night with prizes for best dressed couple. Audiences are invited to bring their dancing shoes, and remember – “everything counts in large amounts ..”

Alive and Kicking runs until June 10 at the Heritage Theatre in Hillcrest Tickets R195 pp Wednesday to Saturdays (R165 pp Tuesday evenings and Sunday lunchtime) include the Heritage’s good quality two-course meal. Bookings on 031 765 4197 or www.heritagetheatre.co.za
